Calematic Wheel Chocks in North Lanarkshire

Calematic Wheel Chocks Installation North Lanarkshire

Commercial properties, such as warehouses and supermarkets, are usually equipped with service docks. It’s here where vehicles unload and load goods and other items, with the lorry backing up to a service hatch so that the rear compartment is easily accessible. A vehicle restraint system is installed in the ground in the space where the vehicle parks. Its job is to stop the vehicle moving. 

Here at BGS, we supply and install the best calematic wheel chocks North Lanarkshire has to offer. This ingenious vehicle restraint system lies flush with the ground when retracted, so won’t create a trip hazard. When deployed, it wedges between the wheels or clamps them from either side, preventing any sudden movement. 

Calematic wheel chocks, North Lanarkshire customers, weigh around 80kg and are made from galvanised steel. They are attached to air cylinders, so there’s no oil to freeze. And because they fully retract, they are shielded from the elements, so require far less maintenance. 

While calematic wheel chocks won’t stop a vehicle from driving away, they provide enough resistance to stop accidental movements. And the inclusion of a traffic light system ensures that everyone knows when the chocks are retracted and when they are deployed. 

A Simple and Reliable System 

The beauty of calematic wheel chocks, North Lanarkshire customers is that they are a simple and reliable system. There are two options – simple and double chocks. 

Simple chocks are comprised of singular blocks in two pits at 20cm intervals. They can be customised with chocks added or taken away as needed, and they can support lorries of all sizes. Different configurations are available, such as two lines of five chocks, two lines of six chocks, or one line of eight chocks. 

The second type is double chocks. As the name implies, these are comprised of two smaller chocks that interlock to grip the wheels of the trailer from both sides, rather than wedging in between the wheels. The advantage of double chocks is that they are very reliable and decrease civil engineering costs. The trade-off, however, is that they require a wheel guide and a much larger docking area. 

Both options are attached to sensors and a traffic light system. When the service hatch opens, sensors trigger the chocks to engage and the light changes to signal this. When the service hatch is opened, the sensor triggers the chocks to release and the lights to change accordingly. This way, nobody can forget to activate/release the chocks, and nobody is unaware of the chock’s current status. 

Guaranteed Security 

One advantage that you get with calematic wheel chocks, North Lanarkshire customers, is guaranteed security. Not in the sense of preventing theft but rather in the sense of protecting you from liability. If a vehicle should suddenly shift, resulting in an injury because there’s no vehicle restraint system present, you could be held liable. 

To ensure this doesn’t happen and the safety of your employees and visitors, speak to BGS concerning calematic wheel chocks installation.
